I am pregnant and have a cold?

Question

Hello, I am pregnant and I have caught a cold. I am doing sinus rinses, gargling with salt water and taking vitamins. Is there anything else I can do, I don't want it to drag on and have to cancel all my appointments!

Hello Madam, sorry to read about your troubles! I have to tell you that you are already doing everything right for your situation, especially regarding the sinus rinse: it can be used as often as needed, there is no maximum use per day, if used correctly. The cold will heal itself. Other products marketed for cold symptoms are either ineffective or not recommended during pregnancy. I hope I've answered your questions, and I'm available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
